Strengthening CMI's capacity to build peace
Peace is fundamental for children and youth to have equal opportunities and good, safe lives. RELEX Foundation has donated to CMI's new Peace Fund to increase CMI's capability to answer the growing number of peace mediation requests and to urge other donors to choose peace.
Peace is fundamental for children and youth to have equal opportunities and good, safe lives. Martti Ahtisaari, a Nobel Peace Laureate and former president of Finland, said: "Every conflict can be solved if there is will." It is also a matter of resources: CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation is one of the world's leading private peace mediation organisations. In 2022, CMI received a record of 132 peace mediation requests but was unable to respond to all. The number of requests has been growing each year. At a time when the world experiences record levels of violent conflict, the RELEX Foundation has donated to CMI's new Peace Fund to increase CMI's capability to answer the need and to urge other donors to choose peace.
